Academic & Professional Learning grew 4 % as reported and 3 % at constant currency , driven by strong recovery in Professional Learning from prior - year COVID lockdown impacts . This more than offset a decline in Education Publishing due to softer US enrollment and some easing of prior - year COVID - related tailwinds in content and courseware .
